Worst and best languages for singing?

Music from Latin America:

It would be absurd to search the qualities best fit for singing in the phonological features of a language.

Italian, Spanish and Japanese are limited to five vowels, like 80% of languages in the world. If only this criterion is relevant, there is no reason to select these three languages, rather than all the others that share this trait. One could even argue the opposite, stating that French and its 14 vowel sounds, English with its 16 vowel sounds and the Germanic languages in general, are more diverse and therefore more interesting.

In fact, it would be fairer to say that every language has its advantages and weaknesses when it comes to poetry and songs. It is the artist's job to take advantage of them. For example, it has been said that the French language would be unfit for singing because of its inclination to mute its E sounds. Actually, because this E-muting inclination is entirely optional, it is an advantage when adapting the number of syllables to the beat. "Je suis" /ʒø sɥi/ has two syllables, "J'suis" /ʃɥi/ has only one. It's up to the songwriter to decide what sounds best.

Italian has 7 vowels. In Opera genre languages with few vowels but vowel-heavy and clear vowels are prefered. I guess that for rap languages with many vowels are better because they allow faster pace.

Not Serbian. Romany.

Now this is a Šaban Bajramović song in Serbian:

wow, there's esperanto music? that's crazy. i thought barely anyone spoke that seriously

<<wow, there's esperanto music? that's crazy. i thought barely anyone spoke that seriously >>

They don't. That's just more proof of how crap Esperanto is. Listen to that song and you can hear his incredibly thick Brazilian accent.

I guess that the anthem of the U.N. should be in Esperanto

WTF? This is from Perú and has been a 'hit' in Hispanic America.

I know some songs are in English but it's mixed with African words etc...

<<I guess that the anthem of the U.N. should be in Esperanto >>

Does the U.N. have an anthem? How about the E.U.?

Another combination of songs:

Henry, pera ya de meter basura,tío. Aprende lo que es un vídeo chulo de verdad con un tío que canta de verdad(NINO BRAVO) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Iel-u709A

A ver si de una P. vez los anglos entendeis que cualquier artista de la talla de NINO BRAVO, JULIO IGLESIAS, CAMILO SESTO,RAPHAEL, JOAQUÍN SABINA,....etc. cantando en Español le da mil vueltas a cualquier artista anglo.
